Why use Character DNA?

Whether we are aware or not, we conduct informal personality assessments on a day to day basis. When talking about ourselves and others, we frequently refer to characteristics that belong to particular personality types.

Valuable, impartial insights

Personality tests beat traditional methods of gathering information and provide recruiters and managers with insights into an individual’s personality that are 100% objective and bias-free.

By hiring and keeping employees by purely focussing on personality aspects, everyone’s a winner: employees, hiring managers and team members. These insights provide a higher level of understanding from each team member of how to get the best out of an employee – a process that would usually take months.

Easily comprehensible

The personality profiling report is accurate and accessible enough that anybody can pick it up, read and understand it.

By presenting the facts in simple language, the report negates the need for formal training to comprehend and allows HR, managers and individuals to make positive changes based on its results.

Readers will absorb valuable information to understand themselves better, value others more and build a united, effective team.

Affordable

Additionally, the report produced by the Character DNA Personality Test is extremely cost-effective when compared to alternative solutions on the market. Don’t run the risk of running up costs for your organisation by making a bad hiring decision and focus on what matters most to your team.

Beneficial

Whether used in staff development or as part of the interview process, by providing a selection of insightful questions, your organisation will be able to dive deeper into an individual’s personality to help them reach their true potential.

Culture

Personality has been scientifically proven to be directly related to job performance. Assessing the behavioural tendencies of both job candidates during the recruitment process and current employees undergoing review allows recruiters and line managers to understand at a glance whether a particular individual will perform as expected and whether their personality aligns with that of your company culture.
